"Everything needs to change" - Daniel Jonas

With Daniel Jonas as our guide, we explore how Sephardi traditions merge with philosophy, language, and music to form a personal and uniquely ‘alive’ sense of Jewish identity.


Our guest

Meet Daniel Jonas, a corporate innovation expert, leader of interfaith dialogue, and prominent figure in London's Sephardic community—a path that has led him to explore his Iraqi-Indian heritage and the influence of Judeo-Arabic culture. 


Key topics

  • Language and Identity: How language, particularly Hebrew and Judeo-Arabic, has shaped Daniel's Jewish expression.
  • The Need for Change: Daniel advocates for systemic changes within communities and institutions to include the diversity of what it means to be Jewish.


Your guide

Short definitions of terms mentioned in this episode:

  • Kippah / Yarmulke  - a brimless Jewish skullcap with variations in design and placement. Similar to a Kufi or Taquiya in Islam
  • Amba - a delectable tangy mango pickle condiment of Baghdadi Jewish origin
  • Reform Judaism - Jewish denomination that emphasises autonomy, and adapting to modern life.
